During the last decade (2000–2010), we have witnessed an unprecedented rise in food prices, especially from the world and European market viewpoint. The article aims to analyze the development of prices in the food market in the Czech Republic and to identify the influence of global and European prices development on domestic food price development and price development of selected food products. The article focuses primarily on the sensitivity of Czech food price development and especially on sensitivity of the selected commodity aggregations price development on the global and European market price growth. Furthermore, it is analyzed the impact of changes in value added tax rate from 10% to 14% on food prices in general and then on the prices of selected food products in retails network. The results of the analysis are following. The Czech food market reacts sensitively to changes in food prices on the global market as well as on the EU market but the EU price development is determining for the CR. In terms of price response to change in the VAT rate, it appears that the growth rate is not absorbed on the production side but it is largely transferred to consumer prices. The selected food sample also showed high responsiveness in the development of prices to changes in the EU market prices but there are certain variations given by specifics of the Czech market.

This research is based on conducted surveys with potential consumers of a food product called “kulen” a Slavonian traditional dry fermented salami, as an indigenous Croatian product, covering two counties (Osiječko-Baranjska and Vukovarsko-Srijemska). The surveys include the manufacturer’s attitude toward the special traditional product kulen, their place in the market, strengths, and weaknesses. The aim of this paper is to analyze the market for kulen food products, based on consumers’ responses and their willingness to purchase the product.  The results showed that in the two counties, most consumers purchase salami once a week from a Croatian market—a crucial indicator for consumption of quality products.  With Croatia’s accession to the European Union, Croatian manufacturers have found themselves within the unified European market. This primarily means an expanding market where they can sell more of their products.  However, the entry of new producers into the Croatian market would also increase competition. In such case, some manufacturers will have to lower the price of their products to become more competitive, while those whose products have unique geographical indications, designations of origin, and traditional specialty would certainly be able to set a higher price for their products.

The article raises the problem of ensuring metrological traceability of the measurement results of indicators of quality and nutritional value for food products and food raw materials: water (moisture), nitrogen (protein, crude protein), fat, ash and carbohydrates. The problem under consideration can be solved by applying reference materials of food composition, traceable to state primary measurement standards GET 173-2017 and GET 176-2019 and primary reference measurement procedures (PRMP), for attestation of measurement procedures and accuracy checking of measurement results. The article discusses the results of the PRMP development of mass fraction of fat, ash and carbohydrates in food products and food raw materials, as well as mass fraction of crude fat (oil content) in oil crops seeds and products based on them. The paper also presents metrological characteristics of reference materials of composition of dry dairy products, grain-milk dry porridges for nutrition of babies, grain dry porridges for nutrition of babies, egg powder, freeze-dried meat products, animal feed. The results of the work allow for building a chain of metrological traceability from GET 173-2017, GET 176-2019 and PRMP to routine measurement procedures, thereby ensuring the uniformity of measurements of nutritional value of food products.
